what needs to coded different?

our car has MFD2 fitted but i think it was retrofit as the GPS aerial was sat on dash top.

i have noticed the radio makes bizarre noises like a cd searching even when unit is off.
it's sporadic.

battery not gone flat while we've owned it. TBH the battery is 72AH !!! is that normal ??

Cheers

Have you a CD player, if so then load a CD and this will stop it searching. (Just leave it in).
